The actual upgrade will be that I have an existing server running 9.3 on RHEL 6.2. We’ll have to do a backup of the database, then deploy a new OVA to get to RHEL 7 with PG 9.6, then restore the database. Are there any specific steps that I’ll have to execute in the scripts that will restore the database to get the 9.3 data to work with 9.6?
Dump the 9.3 database using the pg_dump(all) from 9.6. Go here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release.html and read the notes for 9.4, 9.5, 9.6: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-4.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-5.html https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6.html In particular the section: E.8.2. Migration to Version X.X
Since all my users will be getting to 9.6 from a new system deployment, not by any sort of partial upgrade, do I need to worry about trying to get a correct version of the setup script with upgrade handling? (Other than whatever I need for the answer above.) Thanks
